Is your car a Turbo? Posted by PGAero [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Upgrade?, SAAB95, Tue, 13 May 2008 08:06:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Is your car NA, a light pressure turbo, or a full pressure turbo (or an Aero)? Knowing these things will change the kinds of cars that are "a lot faster".
For example, my 5 spd Aero is faster than most other cars its age on the road, and faster than many of todays "average" cars. Personally, I don't think you can get a more reasonably priced "fast" car than a full pressure turbo Saab.
Have you driven a Viggen or Aero (9000 or 9-5)?
And, what is a "reasonable price range" to you? Are you talking used car, less than $5000, or are you thinking of new cars, and reasonable means less than $30K? Or somewhere in the middle?
If someone asked me what kind of reasonably price fast car I would buy, I'd take them for a spin in my car, and find a place to shift into third and step on it. Then I'd tell them how much I paid for the car (4.5 years ago). Most people don't believe me.
Anyway, let us know what you're looking for in a car. And, also realize that we'll all tell you that the 9000 is the best car in the world, and how we wish Saab still made them, and how they are hewn from a single piece of titanium, and how they never break, and how only the 95-97 models are the best, etc. etc. etc.... (That's a bit of hyperbole... sometimes they do break ;o) )
